this is some secret 996 video that you have to unlock by watching absolutely everything on the 996 911.

How times change, with the fried egg headlight cars now becoming highly sought after! Time has been very kind to the looks of the 996. Guaranteed future classic, as well as being a really good drive.

You were right three years ago when you wrote this, but fast forward to today, and it’s as if you had a crystal ball. My first 996 (‘00) was with me for 3 1/2 years and I recently sold it for 140% of what I paid. My current ‘99 996 is an early build, and the amber within all six light housings helps to identify it as the most desirable “base model” 996 of the five year run. Love these cars.

interesting that none of contemporary journalists had anything to say about the headlights

Well done vid... Thanks... I've had 4 Porsches in my 67 years here... ('56 356, '64 356SC, a 912, and finally, when I made Airbus Capt. a 928S4- a gift to myself...) The year model on your vid looks like THE car to look for if one was getting back into the Porsche marque.... Again, thanks for your honest assessment of the truth...! I, for one, really appreciated the report.... Gordon in Mau

It doesn't look that much like 911. It's 996. I like the original 996 with the amber directionals all round, makes all the difference. Very nice looking car. Liked it from the first time I saw it. I don't like the changes done to it later, if I am honest.

I agree. The 996.2 was not an improvement.

This has always been my favorite 911. I really love them all but this one is especially unique and interesting. Also, as a child I watched Gone in 60 Seconds probably hundreds of times for the cars, and the opening scene where they steal a shiny showroom 996 in silver was my favorite car in the entire movie (Porsches have always been my favorite car from the day I was born .. if that doesn't make me a purist who loves the 996 then the "gate keeping" is just a bunch of toxic people who's opinion you should ignore anyway)

Although I agree with much of what Chris says about the old 911s handling, I would say they pretty much solved the major issues with the 964 especially in carrera 4 guise, and the 993 was very safe really, I've driven one and it seemed perfectly neutral. The 996 is even better of course but they don't have that solid old school feeling of build, though tbh they seem to be ageing pretty well.

this MY they fixed the handling and fucked the design! sorry for the language! couldn't help it. Basically it was ruined by those fried egg lights and overall bulky image. Only got to be a 911 again in 2006. And presently it is in its best shape ever IMO. thx for sharing.
